223 Halesowen Squadron ATC

Are you up for fun, adventure, incredible experiences and making new friends? Are you looking for something to give you the edge in life? Then welcome to 223 (Haleoswen) Squadron, Air Training Corps.

We're a voluntary organisation sponsored by the Royal Air Force and can give you hands-on experience of activities and courses that will challenge and develop your skills to help you succeed in whatever you want to do.

If you are aged between 12 - 17yrs and you want to do something different, come and join us as a cadet. As a cadet you'll have the opportunity to do things that others only dream about. Want real flight experience? No problem. How about heading out on adventurous training and camps, sometimes overseas? Normal for cadets. Competitive sports, drill, shooting, music, abseiling, engineering projects? Our list of activities is long, varied and open to all cadets. Yes it's a challenge, but that's what life's all about.

Over 20? Seeking a new challenge? Would you like to develop skills, leadership qualities and gain qualifications too? At Air Cadets, we constantly assess our past achievements, implement changes to meet the challenges of today and make plans for the future. And a huge part of that planning is you. As the backbone of our organisation we're always on the look out for high-calibre individuals to become volunteers, helping to run the activities that play such an important role in the lives of our young members.

If you join as a cadet or volunteer you will have the fantastic opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities such as:

- Flying & Gliding
- Duke of Edinburgh's Award
- Adventure training
- Camping
- Rock climbing
- Abseiling
- Parachuting
- Shooting
- Canoeing
- Sports
- Music
- Training and Education
and much, much more!

We look forward to seeing you there!
